Make sure to spell your answers correctly or you will not get credit. Post your verification word in your CW post. CW TRIVIA LINK Victor Helstrom Dude Code: 3. Written, 3 TPE, Draft Kings (150 words min.) It is my opinion that the Season 55 are the Draft Kings! They had one of the best groups of players available it was one of the deepest drafts I can remember in recent history. I am sure you can go back and look at all the legends in the other draft classes mentioned but There is something special with this group of players in the S55 draft class including the likes of some future hall of famers. Their names have been a trend in awards and making instant impacts for their team in the SHL and in the SMJHL. That is just the players. The Users behind the players is what makes this draft class even more special. Almost all of the players in this class have had major roles on the site and have continued to make a name for themselves. Look no further then the human Sim engine agentsmith or the graphics expert Sulovilen for a couple examples of the major impacts they have made on the site. WC:171 Code: 4. Written, 3 TPE, Biopic (150 words min.) The Nathan Thomas story. From Castaway to the pros. The story is pretty simple when you break it down and look at it for what it is, a young player wasn’t thought to do much ends up making a bit of a splash in the pros. From the outside it has been an interesting journey to say the least. When Nathan first declared for the draft in the juniors he was not much of anyone really. Taken as a late pick to fill a roster gap and only appearing in half the games his draft year there was no surprise he was a late pick in the SHL draft. But since being dealt from Texas to SFP he started to come into his own. His junior career took off and the team had success before making an impact for a rebuilding team before being exposed in the expansion draft and taken to his new home Philly. Since joining there he has enjoyed playing some top minutes with some of the best defensive minded players around his draft year. The story will be left open with him chasing the cup with the core group of Forge players. WC:196 NOTE- YOU CANNOT DO TASK 11 BEFORE FINALS END Code: 11a. Written, 2 TPE - The Procrastinator Special! (100 words min.) Well the season is officially wrapped up and Hamilton has won again… In fairness to Hamilton they were the better team and played much better behind some absolute great players. One of the players that stood out the most though would be Theo Morgan. Once again Morgan played out of his mind when the playoffs rolled around and he was a major factor in not only the Steelhawks getting to the final but sealing the win for them. Morgan was able to put up a balance 11 goals and 16 assists to lead all playoff scoring for 26 points. Yes his line mates were up there too and deserve credit but Theo Morgan is the glue that holds them together and deserves the playoff MVP. WC:125 Code: 12. Milestones, up to 3 TPE Code: 13. Written, 3 TPE, Parody (150 words min.) There have been many steps to level the playing field in the SHL to try and produce more parity in the league. It is my opinion that the league has done a very good job of creating more parity in the league despite the last 6 seasons only featuring 4 different teams in the finals. The division realignment was the first major step in this. The second was the new scale for players. This has greatly helped teams that were nowhere close to competing actually be in games even if they are in a rebuild mode. The only major issue that is left to fix is regression. Having that hit players harder may help the turnover and creation of new teams in the league. The other major factor everyone seems to forget is it has only been 2 seasons. A lot of the players that still fill these 4 teams have and will be under contract for some time yet. When there is a change of personal it can also lead to more parity in the league. The biggest thing in my humble opinion is GM’s need to stop taking on bad contracts and bailing out cap stricken teams so those teams are forced into selling and good players will be more distributed around the league.
